the only machines that meet all the wants of the public. 
They are the favorites for family use, are preferred for 
shirt making, vest making and tailoring purposes gener¬

work, w here the sewing ranges from the finest to the 
coarsest fabrics.

New York, Wednesday Evening, Sept. 19, 1S60. j 
An unusually active business has been transacted in 
Breadstuff's during the past month. Receipts of the prin¬ 
cipal kinds have been quite heavy, and sales very exten¬ 
sive. Early in the month, reports of bad weather and 
short crops in England and France, and the opening of 
the French ports to foreign vessels, caused an advance on 
previous prices. Within the past week, how ever, accounts 
have been received of a very favorable change in the 
weather, particularly in the British Islands, and a conse¬ 
quent depression in the leading English markets. Hence, 
holders have made some considerable concessions to 
buyers, in order to induce the latter to purchase freely. 
At the close, trade is unsettled, and prices are irregular 
and declining. With the expectation of heavy arrivals 
from the interior,—the anxiety of receivers to dispose of 
their supplies is increasing, and though a liberal export 
inquiry is confidently anticipated, it is generally feared, 
that, with the unusually large crops harvested in this 
country, this season, prices w ill not rule very high, though 
the demand of the South, together with the foreign wants 
will prevent very great depressions. _Colton has at¬ 
tracted more attention from purchasers at a shade firmer 
rates. The new crop prospects are now interesting the 
trade. The new growth w hich was started by the late 
rains, has become a leading feature in the crop question. 
Different opinions exist of the probable result of this new 
growth in producing Cotton,butthe more intelligent view 
is, that with fine weather and a late frost, it w ill reach 
maturity, and thus partially repair the damage by drouth. 
It is entirely a weather question, however, and therefore 
wholly in the future. The rains w ere not unattended 
with harm in some places, and in portions of the bottom¬ 
lands of Texas and Louisiana we hear they have been 
too abundant, accompanied wilh the usually attendant 
complaints of rust, boll-worm elc. Crops in the Red 
River districts do not compare favorably with the large 
yield of last year, but in the Yazoo and Mississippi val¬ 
leys, on river bottoms and overflowed lands, full crops 
will be made. Sufficient rain has now fallen ; and as 
Cotton is rapidly opening, fine weather for picking will 
be of lhe first importance, though we have yet to experi¬ 
ence the wet weather incident to September. The ulti¬ 
mate result of the crop is yet an open subject, and owing 
to its present peculiar position, no estimate will be en¬ 
titled to confidence till after the first killing frost. 
Hops have been decidedly brisker, having been actively 
sought after by shippers and speculators, at improved 
prices. Large sales of this year’s crop have been made, 
for future delivery, at from 25®30 cts., closing generally 
ot 30 cts. per lb.Seed Leaf Tobacco has been un¬ 
usually active, two or three thousaud cases having been 
disposed of within our revised range of prices.Wool 
has been in fair request at full rates.The movements 
in most other kinds of produce have been moderate.
